DOES .sTRUCK FARMING" PAYs
What a New York Gardener Says
 About It-Rates of Rent.

What a New York Gardener Says
 About It-Rates of Rent.
 from the New York Sun.l
 Finding the farmer willing to talk, the reporter put the question: "Does truck farming pay:"
 stFor the amount of capital invested, D was the reply, Git pays we'll, even better than most people suppose. We can raise vegetables and salads at all seasons of the year and receive cash when we market our truck. To do tiptop garden ought to contain from five to eight acres, but a neighbor of mine cleared four thousand dollars last year off of two acres, third of which is covered with glass. By glass I mean hot beds. This is the best paying part of the work, as it is by the use of hot beds that We are enabled to work the year round. About one hundred glass frames, three by six feet in size, can be placed on a city lot, with plenty of space to pass between the rows. There are six teen city lets on an acre. The space un- der a single frame can be worked so a to pay profit of three dollars clear of all expense of rent, labor and marketing. Figure this up and you will see how easi- ly my neighbor could have made his four  bor, especially in the winter, when we have to cover up our beds with mats of hay to protect the plants from frost. But three men would be help enough to care for an acre of glass properly.
 ooh, yes," he continued, "there is some stuff that we have considerable trouble in raising. For instance, we haven't been able to get good spinach in several years. This is owing to the fact that since the cows were driven out of the city we have had to depend on horse manure for fertlllzlng purposes, which we obtain in large quanti ties from the breweries. This is excellent on wet land and for forcing plants in hot beds, but it is too coarse and dry for gen. eral field use. Worked over for couple of years into a compost it is nearly as good as COW manure. The latter we consider the best natural fertilizer we can use, and prefer it even to guano, which is largely adulterated. It is stronger and retains it's strength the longest: keeping the soil moist and cool.
 s'Rents Rent is all the way from noth- ing up to five dollars per city lot for year. This makes eighty dollars acre, about ten times what ordinary farms rent for. After the owner gives notice that he wants his land for building purposes we pay no rent: then he can take possession in thirty days. If we paid he would have to wait 8 year. That gardener across the way has paid no rent for two years"
 Another gardener said he had worked hls ten acre farm for twenty eight years, put did not expect to stay on the place more than five years longer. there was so mucn building going on He believed he would live to see the time when the gardeners would be driven entirely out ot the city.

HHe E&new His Horse.

The Anderson mtclligencer says:
"Mr. J. s. Fowler is one of the most
re narkable men we ever saw. On
his way up from Augusta last week
ut Plum Branch, he saw horse which
wos stolen from him 1885, and imme-
diately recognized it from the car
window. Getting off he saw the par
ty IN possession of it, and while ex-
planning the situation, the train left
him. He borrowed a saddle, and To-
ped the horse to the next station, Nc
Cormicks, in time to overtake the
train, and ship his horse by The same
train. For qniclS perception and rap
i'd execution, Mr.. Fowler has no supe
lior."

Several persons have recently ask
ed the editor in regard to the distri-
button of compost and coarse manure.
If this can be penncd and forllcd over
q few times it puts it in good condi-
ton for scattering, but manure that
has active amOnia in it loosCs by this
manipulation. A good plan for cot
ton is to put your compost in at once
if your land is ready. Sub3oil your
bed furrow by running twice in it.
Then scatter your compost and cover
with two burrows. Run the other
two out just before planting time.
For upland corn, and that is the corn
that is to redeem our county from
bondage to the Wost, lay off your
rows five to six feet wide. Better
have them seven feet thal four. Run
q long plow in the water furrow Stir
ring up the subSOil. Then scatter
the manure in the drill. Even co!-
ton seed aud acid may be put in dur-
ing February. Cover this with two
burrows with n twistcr, making n llat
bed. IF you fellow the twistcr with a
bull tongue, so much the better.
Then when you get ready to plant
open out with long shovel and GOV
er with two burrows. Ifyour corn or
cotton VOWS are run 50 that they viii
not wash, there will be no waste in
putting manure in at this seas IN.
These suggestions or made, not 50
mucn for you to follow, as to set you
to thinking and dovising better plans
for farm wotk than the Spartan can
suggest Cc~oIi"" ,Spartum.

blows apart the folds of the boys sim
